ADVICE

Draft Ricky Pearsall Early

  • Draft Ricky Pearsall aggressively because his rapport with Brock Purdy and route polish surged in offseason work.
  • Pearsall projects to be a clear target leader in San Francisco and beats his ADP at WR35.
INSIGHT

Worthy Needs Early Run To Break Out

  • Xavier Worthy benefits from Rashid Rice's six-game absence to establish a Chiefs role early.
  • Worthy's long-term upside depends on Mahomes improving his deep ball and Worthy showing consistent separation.
ADVICE

Take Cheap Swings On Jalen Coker

  • Pay downlate-round for Jalen Coker as a low-cost WR3/4 with clear target upside in Carolina.
  • He earned a significant role with Bryce Young and can be weekly fantasy value if development continues.
